Ahead of the 16th April, 2011 Presidential polls, history beckons - which ever way the results go. First, the increase in the number of opposition (non-PDP) parliamentarian seats implies that both ACN and CPC stand a good chance at the Presidential election. This also means that the elections may go into a run-off - the first in our political history. Again, should PDP fail to win at first ballot or even the run-off, another history would have been made - the party would lose power at the center for the first time since 1999 and Mr. President would have been the first incumbent Nigerian President to lose re-election. But should PDP win, Mr. President would certainly become the first VP to succeed his boss and most importantly, the first Minority and South-South Commander-in-Chief. Which ever way...lets welcome a new dawn. It is well with NIGERIA.
It is a very healthy development. It shows how eager our people are to shift from the past and chant a new course for the political development of our dear country.
